Let’s get real. We’re heading into a somewhat “iffy” season weather-wise. It’s unpredictable, swinging from sunshine to rain before we’ve even finished our morning coffee. Unpredictable weather and kids parties do not mix!
So if you’ve got a kids party coming up, an indoor party is 100% weatherproof! We’ve got 10 super fun and unique indoor party ideas your kids will love to make sure bad weather doesn’t dampen the birthday fun ever again!
FORT BUILDING PARTY
Who didn’t love building forts as a kid? The idea behind this indoor party theme is for the kids to make their own forts using blankets, chairs and string supplied by you. This would work great for a slumber party but just as well for a rainy indoor afternoon party, where you could work in prizes for most creative fort, best fort etc. We’ve got the perfect invitation to get the fort building fun started, featuring colourful forts and editable text to make it your own!
ICE SKATING PARTY
Ice skating is a fun activity come rain or shine. On a boiling hot summers day it can be a welcome respite from the heat and in the cold, it can add to the cosy winter atmosphere. Indoor ice skating rinks often have skate hire facilities, instructors and even cafés to make it a fuss-free indoor kids party. We’ve created these cute ice skating party invitations with sweet little skaters strutting their stuff in the rink.
PAINTBALL/LAZER TAG PARTY
For kids looking for an adrenaline rush, a paintball or laser tag party is a fun indoor party option. Indoor paintball and laser tag arenas allow the kids to go on a wild adventure in a controlled, safe environment. Complete with paint splatters and a paintball gun, our laser tag party invitations will no doubt get the indoor adventure started!
ROCK CLIMBING PARTY
Another indoor party for brave birthday boys and girls is a rock climbing party. Dare to climb to the very top of the climbing walls, but don’t look down! We’ve created a colorful rock climbing party invitation with an adventurous birthday boy and girl, respectively, scaling the climbing wall, ropes and all.
GAMING PARTY
Got a gaming enthusiast on your hands? Turn his/her hobby into the perfect indoor party! We covered a bunch of cool gaming party ideas for girls and boys on the blog last year that you can check out here. We’ve also got you covered with this neon gaming party invitation featuring video game controls and tons of space for the party deets.
SCIENCE PARTY
Does your child love science? Why not throw an indoor science experiment party?! We love that this party mixes fun with learning. There are companies who come and set up stations and guide the kids through the experiments. Alternatively you can find some cool science experiments to do with the kids on Pinterest. We’ve got a science experiment party invitation complete with a beaker and atoms to delight your little scientist!
SCAVENGER HUNT PARTY
If your little girl considers herself to be the next Nancy Drew, a scavenger hunt is the perfect indoor party activity! Put together a bunch of clues and hide them around your home or even at the local mall if you get store staff on board to hand out clues. Take a peak at our scavenger hunt party invitation, featuring magnifying glasses and suspicious footprints in a bright color palette.
SOAP MAKING PARTY
For creative birthday girls, a soap making party is the perfect indoor party idea. Look up your own recipes or bring in a local expert in your area to show the girls what to do! Our soap making party invitation with its soft hues of pastel pink and floral details looks almost as pretty as your house is going to smell come party day.
MOVIE NIGHT PARTY
Who doesn’t love a classic movie night indoor party?! Grab the blankets, popcorn and your favorite movies and you’re all set! We have movie night party invitations for boys and girls that resemble a movie ticket to really set the scene.
PIZZA MAKING PARTY
We love a good pizza in all its deliciously cheesy, doughy glory. So turn everyone’s favorite treat into an indoor party! This one is great for tweens and teens, allowing them to “hang out” in the kitchen while they build the pizza of their dreams. We’re hungry already! Feast your eyes on our pizza party invitation featuring a tasty pizza, spatula and some classic pizza toppings.
